It sounds like Proud Spell will stay a little closer to Indian Blessing so she does not have so much ground to make up in the end. The question is if that will wear her down. I'm not sure so I'm using both in the all stakes pick 4 and pick 5. Either way, it looks to be chalky day at FG.

Today wasn't necessarily about winning for her. The connections know what she can do, and ever since the BC, it's been all about the Oaks for her, not an allowance race in February.

The question becomes, did she get enough out of today's race (which includes the almost 1/2 extra furlong she ran ), or does she need another before May 2? When I find out, I'll post.

Backseat Rhythm came out of that allowance race just fine. The connections have decided to run her in The Bonnie Miss on Florida Derby day. They also retained a piece of Big Brown, who looked great crushing a "nobody" allowance field this week by open lengths.

I will give ya a 12 pack to a six pack bet.I cant get anyone to bet on here..I want St Paulies Girl as my 6 pack.Name your 12 pack as long as its under 20 bucks.. I will meet ya at Hawthorne to drop off the bet if i lose.

WOW!Very cool that NO ONE responds to what I said..Proud Spell wins!!! Had 50 on her to win..Read up folks also look at the dates that I posted my comments..I think John Franks Might be right.Folks not so bright here.I will never ask for a partner on here or never Give advice on betting or breeding again.I have called every thing with this filly from day one of this post,Actually I have said many things on here that have come thru.Im tired of begging folks to believe in what I said.Last post from me on here.See ya all good night and good racing.

A live Derby prospect and a live Oaks prospect -- must be nice!

Backseat Rhythm is the second choice in the Bonnie Miss (Gulfstream Race 9 on Saturday, 3/29) at 3-1. She's kicking down the barn walls, according to the connections.

Uncoupled entry Classy Concern is 15-1 on the morning line, but is only here as a rabbit for Backseat Rhythm.

I've had it with this trainer Patrick Reynolds -- this would seem to be something pretty basic to watch out for, as a t-bred will not have his or her mind on racing if their body is telling them that it is time to mate. She should have been scratched.

I've already passed the word back that it might be better to have a more professional trainer, like Dutrow, handle this horse. The problem is that the connections are friends with Reynolds, and as you might imagine, it can be difficult to tell a friend that he can't cut it with your horse and you are changing trainers.

Reynolds was interviewed on HRTV Thursday night and all but guaranteed this horse would dominate so I was very surprised she was not more competitive.

I saw that too. When I saw her race, I went into a panic: was she in distress? Was she about to break down?

Female horses are no different than female humans -- their basal temperature increases as ovulation nears. There are other confirming things to look for that I won't go into here.

That she was allowed to run "hot" tells me that the barn didn't even do the most basic things for her on the morning of the race, like take her temperature. Reynolds & Co. have to go -- they are BLOWING a huge chance with a very nice filly.

Well..Number one wags..Ya are very cool.Thanx for being cool... As for Proud Spell Here is the Thing 1st time polytrakkin....The Frankel Filly That everyone was "" Lovin Like They were lovin the Lord" Run Behind Spell Off The layoff..So That being said alone says Spell has danced all the dances and even though has not won em all is at least after the wire Is still standing.Indian Blessing.Done.! We can Only hope we will see her in the fall.My Thing and I might be wrong as everyone knows is Im not very sharp is Spell looked a bit uncomfortable on the head on.Head turned to the rail and ya can draw your own tale here..Was she pushed toward the grandstand or was she a bit sore??See ya all at the Oaks.
